Antichrist is a 2009 film written and directed by Lars von Trier, starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg. It follows horror film conventions and tells the story of a couple who, after the death of their child, retreat to a cabin in the woods where the man experiences strange visions and the woman manifests increasingly violent sexual behaviour. The narrative is divided into a prologue, four chapters and an epilogue. The film was primarily a Danish production but co-produced by companies from six different European countries. It was filmed in Germany and Sweden.
After premiering at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, where Gainsbourg won the festival's award for Best Actress, the film immediately caused controversy, with critics generally praising the film's artistic execution but strongly divided regarding its substantive merit. Other awards won by the film include the Robert Award for best Danish film, The Nordic Council Film Prize for best Nordic film and the European Film Award for best cinematography. The film is dedicated to the Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-86).

The supreme force of evil
To destroy the altar
And slaughter the christian's born
Churches will be destroyed
Crosses will be broken
He's laughing in blasphemy
Like a domination of death
Antichrist
The war is started
Heavens on fire
From the deep of Hell
Leaving words of hate
Antichrist
The terror is declared
The final fight started
The Antichrist and Lucifer
Fighting with angels and God
